‘The Breeze’ Arrives in Vancouver at 104.3

NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vancouver, December 20, 2018 – On December 26, a warm new breeze will arrive in Vancouver as Stingray (formerly Newcap) launches 104.3 The Breeze (CHLG-FM) will offer Vancouver listeners something new that has been missing on the dial for many years. With easy, relaxing, and familiar favourites, 104.3 The Breeze will provide an oasis from today’sextremely noisy and busy world.

Listeners can expect a broad playlist spanning five decades, from the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, the ‘00s, and today. 104.3 The Breeze will feature artists like Lionel Richie, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Whitney Houston, Sara McLachlan, Billy Joel, and Adele, giving listeners a non-stop stream of relaxing favourites that they can listen to at work, or at home, or in the car.

“These are songs our listeners know and love. They were all massive hits. And for some reason, radio in Vancouver seems to have forgotten about them,” said Paul Sereda, Stingray’s Program Director for CHLG-FM. “104.3 The Breeze is bringing those amazing songs back to the radio.”

Over the past year, some of the largest cities in the United States have recently seen similar radio stations launch with tremendous success. The Breeze format is now on the air in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Detroit, among other markets, and it is proving to be very popular with listeners and advertisers.

104.3 The Breeze will be available for live streaming at www.1043thebreeze.ca and on the Radio Player Canada app featuring over 500 of Canada’s leading radio stations.

104.3 The Breeze launches at midnight on Wednesday, December 26 on 104.3 (CHLG-FM)

The PD in Vancouver sure sounds a lot like the PD in Edmonton!

“These are songs our listeners know and love. They were all massive hits. And for some reason, radio in Vancouver seems to have forgotten about them,” said Paul Sereda, Stingray’s Program Director for CHLG-FM. “104.3 The Breeze is bringing those amazing songs back to the radio.”

“These are songs our listeners know and love. They were all massive hits. And for some reason, radio in Edmonton seems to have forgotten about them,” said Al Tompson, Stingray’s Director of FM Programming for Edmonton and Calgary. “96.3 The Breeze is bringing those amazing songs back to the radio.”

That all sounds good, but what is going to happen to LG104.3, and all the classic music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s? That is the best station on the radio and that is the music I grew up with and love. I am sure there are a lot of us older folks who love the classics and will miss it. What about Kelley Latrimoule’s 9 to noon and Graham Hatch in the afternoon with his high school hits? Why not leave a good radio station alone, why do they always have to change

Doesn’t 104.3 still have to play blues in the evening re the hangover POP from the Shore daze?

December 21, 2018 - 8:23 am

Don

Or Jazz…..so a late night buried smooth-jazz show

December 21, 2018 - 11:45 am

Jeff

This would be a great time for 104.9 to bring back FUN FM except this time around utilize the CFUN calls. CFUN still resonates with many Vancouverites. And as for LG…didn’t they do better than Z95.3 in the ratings? Why not switch over Z instead of LG?

Teddy Baxter

The only thing missing from this story, “we asked you and you told us what to play”. And the line, “And for some reason, radio in Vancouver seems to have forgotten about them,” Oops I did it again and through up in my mouth whenever I read one of these press releases. They will mess this format up to by giving a steady diet of the same Lionel Richie, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Whitney Houston, Sara McLachlan, Billy Joel, and Adele songs over and over. When you have 5 decades to choose from two things to make this work. Live announcers and as many elves needed to manage this massive playlist by keeping it fresh and so I don’t hear Rocket Man five times a week.

December 22, 2018 - 8:40 am

Don

Z is significantly higher in the demos that count. Also, The Breeze at 95.3 would cannibalize LG.

December 23, 2018 - 7:36 am

Richard Nofield

Looking forward to hearing the Breeze on 104 3 in Vancouver and hopefully all on air staff keep there position as I enjoy the line up of shows. The music will be from 70s to 90s. So will we still hear our oldies from the 70s or what as I enjoy the oldies.

December 23, 2018 - 7:40 am

Richard Nofield

Yes I agree Kelly and Graham are fantastic. The music that is being played is great already. We should leave it the way it is on LG 104 3. Making changes could have listeners move to other stations if staff changes take effect. Please keep our on air staff. Thanks

December 24, 2018 - 12:21 pm

dave mcintyre

wish they would have left the current format alone. but i do agree the same old songs over and over again becomes to much. hope your playlist does not potray this is here are thousands of songs outthere.

would love to see the revival of the best station ever the old cfun and its 50s and 60s music, contests and yes djs

December 24, 2018 - 3:41 pm

David Wiebe

Actually if its like the station here on 963 when it becomes the breeze most of the djs will be new and voice track from Toronto except the morning show don’t know about lg 1043 if they are keeping your djs or they keep one or two.

December 25, 2018 - 10:42 am

Nick Mayar

Congratulations! It takes a truely special kind of stupid to take the best format in the city with some of the best on-air personalities and turn it into another source of aural pablum. All of the artists mentioned ALREADY played on the current format PLUS many others for variety. I don’t care that the “new” format is used elsewhere; MUZAK torments people trapped in elevators world-wide, that doesn’t make it good. Buy a SONOS folks, find a staion that plays what you REALY like and tell these geniuses to pound sand.

December 26, 2018 - 1:17 am

Brian Walks

The Breeze began at midnight with Player’s 1978 hit “Baby Come Back.” If you want to find out what will play in the next hour go to Edmonton’s Capital FM website, one time zone over.

December 27, 2018 - 3:53 pm

David Wiebe

I heard Vancouver version of the channel kept their djs in tact but in Edmonton they have one dj left but hes in the morning does the morning show then the rest of day the djs are voicetrack that I don’t like but I like the music and they do two commercial free blocks on the workday

December 27, 2018 - 10:36 pm

Leanne

The new format is awful. Zzzzzz

December 28, 2018 - 2:48 pm

George S

I was a very loyal listener and liked the mix of old and new rock favs offered on 104.3
Now with the change in format it just sounds like 103.5 CHQM .
You had a large following and I don’t know who is in charge of the marketing dept that decided on the format change
I have now switched to another station.
If we wanted to listen to music offered on 103.5 then we could already do that.
I hope someone comes in and takes over the music format that used to be offered and is now gone.

December 28, 2018 - 5:43 pm

steve

at first I thought someone was screwing with the radio we have in the shop.
all my employees including myself have been loyal LG 104.3 listeners.
this new format is awful.

bad decision, Vancouver already has enough lame stations. now there is one more

December 29, 2018 - 9:06 am

Randi Ryborg

Shore was terminated for being too mellow, now they change to an even more mellow format? What about the nightly blues? I love that program and listen most every night. This seems like a knee-jerk reaction to a bad book. Back to Jack for me I guess.

December 29, 2018 - 11:03 am

Wendy

I was listening to LG and enjoyed it lots Now they put this crap on the dial.. I hate it and hope these guys get fired at the station. One company I also work for the drivers loved LG and all 20 of them have switched to Jack FM now LG bad move. Music sucks now

December 29, 2018 - 1:29 pm

Brad

I just got home from holidays as I enjoy the Friday and Saturday house party that LG 104 3 had on. I noticed they play garbage now. I was listening to CISL and when they went down it was mentioned from Kelly that LG would be playing the same music. I tuned over and enjoy. Now the station plays garbage. I hope Newcap is happy for making such a bad mistake. You upset me along with many other listeners. Next time ask the listeners for input just do not change and assume your doing what the listeners would like. The music sucks big time. Anyone wishing oldies you will find them on free music as IHeart offers lots of free music from 60s and 70s. Better than what is on 104 3

December 29, 2018 - 3:36 pm

Gary

Sure glad some sense of music has come back. 104.3 was going downhill quickly with constant repetitive songs and non hits with heavier rock. It had its little niches but overall glad to hear good music again. Thank you!

December 29, 2018 - 4:21 pm

Ken

LG 104 3 was such a great station. The only problem was repeats of songs every day. Program department did nothing to fix this as they only allowed the announcers to play what they wish. This was such a huge mistake. Why are these people still working there.Now we have another station that is more of a disaster Go back to oldies. I have found another station that is playing oldies everyone.104 3 FM sucks big time. Newcap do something for the listeners and go back to oldies. and ask the listeners what kind of music we would like The Breeze sucks in Vancouver

December 29, 2018 - 5:41 pm

Herb

Sorry, but sounds like all the other stations now.
Not a fan.

December 29, 2018 - 7:56 pm

Craig

What the hell went on with LG as we listen every weekend to the House Party and now you have this crap on the radio. What a slap in the face for a station we all enjoyed. Time to fire the Program Manager and Station Manager. You just lost another listener. Bring back oldies for the listeners Until that time I will be listening to Jack FM with Larry now.

December 29, 2018 - 10:08 pm

Ted

I went to turn into LG 104 3 and listen to the House Party and noticed the station has changed the format. LG was great and the music you have on now is Garbage. Get rid of the music and bring back LG. If you can not bring it back I will not be listening to this crap station. Why is the manager still working he should be fired for playing music on this station along with the programming staff. What a joke. First CISL and now LG down the toilet.

December 30, 2018 - 9:14 am

Just sayin’

The radio graveyard is full of stations attempting to take down QMFM, the perrenial market leader. Has no one learned this yet?

December 30, 2018 - 1:38 pm

B

I’m not sure I’ve made a decision on this ‘new’ station yet….I love the oldies, but I also like mellow (must be age!) If there was a station that played nothing but oldies (like AM 600 and AM 650 did), I would definitely switch over. Oh well, things change all the time, not worth getting stressed out over it. Happy New Year all!

January 1, 2019 - 3:42 pm

Clint

I switched to LG 104 3 when it started up I was listening to Jack FM. Now myself and all 25 that did listen to LG are going to start listening to Jack FM. Our drivers enjoyed LG and the oldies.Your music is terrible on 104 3. Why is the company keeping staff like this. Music in the evening is more terrible

January 1, 2019 - 6:07 pm

John g stirling

I think I was one of the first listeners to accidentally come across 104:3. After 24 years as an on air local broadcaster, I was impressed…I immediately changed every radio in our 7 vehicles to 104.3 plus all the radios in our home…am no longer impressed. I’m searching for a new station.
I couldn’t believe the change, I,m a believer of the principle of …if it’s not broken then don’t fix it…now I can’t make up my mind if I want to go shopping or ride in an elevator. BORING.
Back in 1969 when I was an on-air DJ, we had automation/canned music from mid nite to 6:-am. It sounds like 1969 to me, and Im sure everyone who used to be a loyal listener to 104.3 must feel as though we’ve all slipped back to the sixties, and there is nothing good about the unplanned and un-needed retrogressive move.
I need a new radio station to listen to. I hate elevators, and I don’t like to grocery shop .
I embrace change. This is stupidity with contempt expressed to loyal listeners.

January 2, 2019 - 8:41 am

frank

I actually felt sick that the station changed. I thought it was a very sick joke, some one must have changed the station on my radio. How could this have happened? Who got the idea to ruin on of the best radio stations I have heard since lg 73 or c fun 1410 ??? I am speechless. I have been listening to that station for years, nobody asked me would I like anything changed?? I am in agreement with all the other people put the station back the way it was!!

January 2, 2019 - 10:51 am

Mark

Goodbye 104.3 I won’t be tuning in any more. It was nice knowing you …

January 2, 2019 - 4:48 pm

Clermont

Super now ee can relax and lesson to good music thank you I’m going with you

January 2, 2019 - 9:00 pm

Dave

This switch has hit all of us boomers and gen Xrs like a sledgehammer and is an insult to many of us in the Lower Mainland. You have totally now lost most of the male audience you have had with the (new) LG . It is disgusting to have a female audience sedate music format set for them only. People that love real good time RocknRoll have been slapped in the face and absolutely discounted on all levels. Graham Hatch was at his best with Rock 101 Vancouver, left that, disappeared then came over to the oldies of the 60s/70s/80s music of those days with the new LG 104.3. Why on earth have you people divorced us and joined the all female audience soft music garbage (that is now to be the current the rage in the US) dictate Metro Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and beyond? A total shame and total disservice to the hundreds of thousands who actually tuned in and maintained you LG 104.3r radio station. No longer, good bye…great for your advertisers eh? Please go back to what you had, it was great and it had the listeners you so need. Not know, that is a guarantee which you all will find out soon enough!

January 2, 2019 - 9:21 pm

Dave St Denis

Has LG 104.3 lost it? They have as of right now totally divorced l their loyal listeners. We boomers and Gen Xrs embraced the music of LG 104.3. We are not a dying breed at all, hundreds of thousands of us remain alive and well in Metro Vancouver and f the Lower Mainland. Why destroy something sane & good to replace it with totally lame and sedate music targeted solely to a certain female audience?? Incredibly insulting to us listeners and outright dumb on all accounts! Please re-instate the oldies 104.3 now, this female elevator music is absolutely terrible to all of us that enjoy the 60s/70s/80s rock/pop rock music which are from many super great includes hits from Canada/Us/UK! You were programmed into my car radio, not now unless you change back!

January 4, 2019 - 5:28 pm

Laurie Jenkins

I recommend streaming Radio Paradise out of the US. They don’t repeat their songs more than a couple of times a month and there is always something of interest. Listener supported so make a donation if you like it. Other than that, I find the Peak more interesting and 104.3 is still better than the horrible QMFM – just barely survived the Christmas songs only in December as for some misguided reason this is the station that our office likes

January 4, 2019 - 7:14 pm

Kathie Chiu

I agree with many of the ones who wonder what you were thinking messing with a great station. I’ll miss the mix of different styles and listening to songs that you wouldn’t hear anywhere else. I’ll give it a try but it already has a different vibe. I’m going to miss rocking along with some of the best in classic rock.

January 4, 2019 - 10:03 pm

Vie

Well I thought I was losing my mind, switch the radio stations looking for LG 104.3 to find out the it’s now the Breeze. Wrong move. Sometimes you just need to leave things the way they are. So disappointed.

January 6, 2019 - 11:11 am

Suzie

What a shocker to turn on the station and find it almost indistinguishable from 103.5fm! I wish there was a station that played predominately 60’s and 70’s music! Will be switching off pronto!

January 6, 2019 - 5:18 pm

Sean Kirkpatrick

The new format is terrible, I only got to listen to the old format for a year when a friend of mine told me about it. Now, No,no,no,no,no. Who wants to listen to this Shhhstuff?! There’s already too much of the soft music that the Breeze plays and if I was interested in listing to it I would go to those channels. It’s a damn shame. I really liked the 60’s – 80’s music. I hope a new radio station comes out soon that has the old LG format. For now, back to Rock 101 and Jack or failing that my collection of CD’s are good too.

January 6, 2019 - 9:04 pm

Kevin

I agree with Sean the format is like really terrible. I hope some new radio station comes to Vancouver as LG was really good and now the Breeze is playing crap. There was nothing bad about LG as you played our oldies. I am asking like everyone else please reinstate LG for Vancouver listeners. I will tell you that all the guys at our shop enjoyed LG. We have 30 people working and there are mad you guys changed the format. The evening show you guys have is even more terrible. Garbage station. for the listeners of Vancouver bring back our LG

January 6, 2019 - 10:02 pm

Dave St Denis

So what is your answer now “The Breeze”. You people have totally peed off a lot of people in Metro Vancouver & beyond. Your current format is absolutely terrible in all ways! Come on now, bring back the LG 104.3 or is that you people hate the listeners of radio stations in Metro Vancouver. Your true sister station 103.5 plays your same garbage for years! What the hell happened??????

January 7, 2019 - 2:48 pm

Mather & Claire

I agree with Dave & Denis
My wife Claire and I enjoyed LG 104 3 and it sounds like management has no customer service skills when it comes to what the listeners would like. This is definitely a garbage station.The listeners of Vancouver have shared there remarks and now it is time for programming to listen to the public and bring back LG and play our oldies. The music your playing in the evening is like going to the dentist. The manager should have been fired for even being allowed to play this crap on the station

January 7, 2019 - 2:53 pm

Billy

I work for a big company in Richmond BC and we enjoyed LG 104 3 as do our group of staff working the evening shift.The music that is not so tasty with our gang is the evening show and that needs to be put into the trash can as it is terrible listeners should have some say in the music as this is not the case at LG. We supported LG for the long run and now it seems to be tarnished. I was looking at the ratings and they are not bad and so with saying this we could have saved this station from flipping over to sleepy music

January 7, 2019 - 3:44 pm

BenJamin

I hope this breeze blows through and returns to the LG 104.3 FM that it was. The new music is boring. If I want boring elevator music, I’ll download it for a funeral slide show, thank you.

January 7, 2019 - 8:44 pm

Frank Bucholtz

It’s interesting to read all the negative reaction. I too enjoyed LG 104.3, particularly Graham Hatch, who is an outstanding DJ. But in this age of Tune In and Canadian Radioplayer, there are so many good alternatives available, listeners really have very little to complain about. One station I really enjoy is K-Rock from Newfoundland – the Saturday music played on Big Tom’s Shed, and the music played during much of the week, is fantastic. With the 4.5 hour time difference, we here in B.C. can hear much of it with very few commercial interruptions.

January 7, 2019 - 11:19 pm

Kevin

The new format was refreshing for maybe a half hour in the car but then it got too snoozy. Please bring back the CISL format then add a few 80s tunes. The old Lg104.3 played too many of the same old songs or not enough variety from the band or singer’s playlist. I can’t stand Jack Fm. Rock 101 has no intelligence.

January 8, 2019 - 1:49 am

Ray

sucks losing the blues lounge. Guessing that now all there is for blues on the radio locally is Saturday Night Blues on 88.1 CBC Radio and Blues after Dark on monday nights on 100.5 CO-Op Radio. Anyone know of any other radio blues programs available on local radio?

January 8, 2019 - 9:58 am

Terry

I just got from Vacation 3 days ago as I enjoy LG 104 3 oldies when going to work. Now the station has just lost another listener. What was Newcap thinking. Why switch stations when we enjoy our music in Vancouver and that was LG 104 3 Take the Breeze away and reinstate LG

January 8, 2019 - 3:24 pm

Linda

I see LG 104 has changed. I am with everyone else and it is crap. The person that decided this should be fired . Recently I was listening to CISL and when they mentioned there 104 3 station to try out I did just myself and husband and have been enjoying until someone decided to put mellow music on. Give Vancouver there station back. You just lost another listener

January 8, 2019 - 3:30 pm

Jay

My name is Jay and I am 58 years old and have enjoyed LG until it went under on Boxing Day.The format now is terrible. I drive truck every day from Vancouver to Kelowna and LG was my station to listen to each and every day. Now your playing garbage. Bad move management Is it time to fire someone at the station. You have lots of mad listeners including me and my wife. She and the girls listened at Hydro in Burnaby and they all enjoyed the music. Now they are searching music out. Bring the oldies back including Mat Story my wife and I enjoyed him

January 8, 2019 - 3:35 pm

Ken Hamilton

I work for Dairy Foods and enjoyed the LG format of oldies . You did not even ask the listeners for input. The new program sucks big time. The evening show is like going to the dentist. My wife and I enjoy the oldies bring them back for Vancouver listeners we plan to listen to other music in the mean time

January 8, 2019 - 4:14 pm

Sara

I was driving with my dad on Boxing Day and 104.3 was on as usual. All I remember saying was “What’s this crap!? That’s not LG!” First we lost Fun, next we lost CISL, now we’ve lost LG.

Now 104.3 sounds no different than any other garbage station with a little bit of the classics mixed in. At least we have Sirius for all our classic rock needs.

January 8, 2019 - 9:43 pm

Adamsmommy

YAWN. Now what do I listen to? How boring. Maybe I will subscribe to Sirius. Can’t handle the new boring format.

January 8, 2019 - 11:23 pm

Joey

I was listening to LG and next I see we have a new station on 104 3 that is playing terrible music now for Vancouver. Anyone looking for great oldies just click on free oldies music and you will find it. So long 104 3. You pissed off many listeners hope you guys are happy about this. Now it is time for the manager of programming to be fired along with the General Manager for allowing this crap on the radio

January 8, 2019 - 11:32 pm

Stewart

My wife and I enjoyed LG as we flipped from CISL and hate the new format on 104 3. The Breeze is not for Vancouver Listeners. Reinstate our station LG as listeners are not happy or is time for someone to be fired at the station. as the music your are playing now suck big time

January 9, 2019 - 3:20 pm

Debbie

The Breeze is no Breeze for me I enjoyed LG 104 3. The new format sucks. I work in a big company in Vancouver and we enjoyed the LG Format. We are now going to find something better to listen to as your station is now Garbage. Your oldies was better. You just lost 32 listeners that enjoyed your station. What a joke to play relaxing music Anyone fired yet. Hope so

January 9, 2019 - 4:06 pm

Renee

Great, another dreary radio station! Seriously, 104.3 was hard to beat, a feel good station in what’s becoming a less than feel so good city. It offered an escape from aspects of Vancouver that are not so upbeat and now this, a station that sounds like every other hum drum station out there. To top it off, unless I have read this wrong, this is an American company? Somebody please tell me that’s not the case. Why would we source out to an American company to provide music for us, isn’t it bad enough we are subjected to so many terrible American television stations? There is no way I will ever be tuning into this station again-not that my voice even matters though because we have very little say about anything that goes on in our city, let alone what radio stations we are offered. If whoever was at the top of making this terrible decision is listening, give us our station back and then quit your job.

January 9, 2019 - 8:06 pm

Sharon

What was LG thinking to change the format. Garbage station. the music is terrible. I hope the person behind this gets fired as I am not happy. I with with a group of people in North Burnaby and had been enjoying the oldies LG played. We came back to work and noticed they switched to a new format. You think that is bad.if you listened any time during the evening. The music is discussing. What is going on with your program staff fire them all along with the manager. No one is happy give our station back LG 104 3

January 9, 2019 - 8:42 pm

David Graham

Lots of negative comments here on this format change and how the new owners, Stingray are executing it. I’ve taken this station off my car presets.

However, Stingray must’ve seen a compelling reason to make this change – to better target the 25-54 market with their Vancouver and Edmonton stations and make more advertising money in the target demos. In the next 5 to 10 years we’ll see more changes with broadcasting stations chasing after the target demo of advertisers as they age out.

January 10, 2019 - 5:30 am

Keith

I understand what David is saying. but there is still room for oldies on LG 104 3. The music now is totally garbage. The simply could have did The Greatest Hits Of All Time and play everything from 50s-90s Now the station is like Crap. I even called Stingray and they mentioned it was up to the station along with management making this change. They just lost another group of listeners.We listened at work to LG and the job site all the guys enjoyed the music and now we are switching.The music now is just terrible on the Breeze

January 10, 2019 - 9:39 am

Bruce

The breeze sucks

January 10, 2019 - 12:46 pm

Chris Aldcroft

I don’t get it . You guys had a great station , I had everyone at work listening to you . Everyone especially misses the Tuesday records . Now your station sucks .I guess the Breeze is the sound of the sell out. No up beat rock to motivate you through the day , just easy listening that will gently put you to sleep . No one I know will listen to 104.3 any more , its dull . Mistake , you’ll see . Please Let me know if your going to sell your vinyl cause im really interseted

January 10, 2019 - 1:44 pm

Brad

I have no idea why the station switched. I am not happy about it. We always listened at work as we enjoyed the music from 60s 70s and 80 and now you put this crap on. Way to go The Breeze. What kind of company is this as you do not care about the listeners. If there was a problem with LG maybe you should have stopped your announcers from playing replays each and ever day and more oldies. Well I tell you that we at work that did listen to you in the shop will not be listening to your station any more until you get rid of the garbage that your playing and bring back the Greatest Hits

January 10, 2019 - 5:28 pm

Wanda & Larry

I am really upset that LG switched to the new format. Larry and I enjoyed LG as we listened in Hope BC on the computer as we enjoyed the music. We have shop in Hope as well and our customers also enjoyed LG. Your music on the new station is terrible. Bring back LG for the listeners as you be getting more complaints I am no longer a listener to your station like everyone else

January 10, 2019 - 7:19 pm

Karen

I can’t believe you changed the format of my favourite station. My 20 year old daughters and I have been listening to LG for years. We all loved the 60’s 70’s and 80’s songs. When every other station had crappy music we could always count on great, singable, upbeat music on LG. The songs that they play now should have been put in as a special slow hour late friday night. Please bring back our station!!!

January 12, 2019 - 10:27 am

Lisa

I can not believe LG switched as well. My daughter and I enjoyed LG 104 3 as well. We hate the Breeze and will find something else. The music now is not good. We enjoyed the House Party and that is gone. We would like you to reinstate LG as the day music is terrible as is the evening music.Hopefully the person that put this music is happy as listeners in Vancouver are pissed off.Please bring our station back.

I just got back from four weeks in the interior. What have you done with Kelly and what have you done with my favorite radio station. If I wanted to listen to this kind of music I would have switched to 103.5 QMFM. They play easy listening.

Now I will have to switch to another radio station. Too bad! LG and I go way back. Twenty years or more.

I agree with Andrea the music on 104 3 in Vancouver sucks big time. Give the listeners there station back of LG 104 3 and oldies. The only reason the station did not cut it is because they play the same music every day. The new format sucks.

My wife Wendy and I do not like the new format on LG 104 3 The Breeze is terrible. The station was good just the way it was. You just lost 2 more listeners. Not sure what the station was thinking what ever it was you made many listeners upset. Your night time show is garbage If I wanted elevator music I would have purchase 2 elevators

I used to listed to 104.3 everyday at work and now I cant stand it. I’d rather sit in an elevator and listen to that music all day.

I also enjoyed LG 60s 70s and 80s and 90s and now the music is just terrible on the Breeze I agree with Andrew I could sit in the elevator if I would listen to this music. At our office customers come in and ask what Happened to LG we loved the music. I told them to send there messages in like many listeners are doing Management does not care about the listeners. If they did we would have our station back

Not happy! What a bunch of lame, boring music you now play. Unfortunately, I’m going to take you off my presets and will need to find a new station to enjoy. Vancouver lost a good one!

I am in Victoria BC and enjoyed LG and now it is just garbage your playing Listeners should have some say in music and sounds like Newcap does not care about the listeners. Maybe time for someone to be fired like Programming Department Manager would be the way to go playing garbage music. Bring back LG

Are you people running this crap radio station happy now? What an idiotic irresponsible decision you guys made in the total switch to the crap you now play. Totally disgusting nd a real disservice and huge slap in the face to Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley radio listeners. Good-bye “The Breeze”! Hope you all fail miserably in your radio management careers as that is exactly what you deserve!

I am so upset that LG switched the format to relaxing music. I was happy the way it was now you have just lost another long time listener. I was listening to CISL and switched over to you and enjoyed the music and now it is lights out for your station. Listeners should have there station back.

I’ve been listening to the Breeze in Edmonton via the music room on Telus TV. Their playlist is way better than the crap coming out of 104.3 Surprising, I thought they would all be in lockstep with format.

The station of 104 3 needs to change before I get sick. I hate it . The station was told to many listeners to Jump over to 104 3 when CISL went under. I did just that along with the gang at my work. We enjoyed LG. Now the staff have changed the dial. We work making boxes and LG was our station to listen to every day. Now you just lost many listeners. Thanks for making a stupid idea of a change Someone needs to be fired in Richmond

Your 104 3 the Breeze is nothing to laugh about as it sucks big time. My wife hates it. She was a bus driver in Burnaby and enjoyed the music and now she just hates your station. I work for the BC Liquor Distribution Centre in Vancouver and the guys just hate the music now. Turn off the crap and bring back our station or at least scrap your evening show. When will the company stop making changes as listeners just hate it. For the good of everyone leaving remarks get rid of your evening show and bring back the old music. You have just made many listeners mad

Ok, will join the chorus of people who have voiced their opinion on losing the old 104.3 to the Breeze. You HAD a winner in the old format. I have tried, and can’t listen to it, sorry. For my daytime listening at home, I will now go back to Telus, and the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s on Stingray.

Now if they can only get rid of or lessen the Canadian content mandated by the CRTC. TOO many repeats of Canadian songs to fill a quota. Nothing against Canadian music, but if it wasn’t for this ruling, a lot of these woundn’t be played. As Bruce Allen called it, Government music welfare.

The only Breeze in my future, will be “Call Me the Breeze,” by Lynard Skynard, on another radio station.
